"The Defiant Ones," now playing at the riayhouse Theatre is certainly one of the best pictures of the season. Here, superb direction and production, somewhat of the Italian neo-realism school, brings out the rrost of a story that is intensely dramatic to begin with. Two convicts, a white man (Tony Curtis) and a Negro (Sidney Poitier) chained together, escape from a Southern road gang. They make their desperate dash for freedom through swamps and a small settlement, pursued' by the state police and by the sheriff with his posse and dogs. The torture of panic, exhaustion, man-handling by a lynch-minded mob, seems doubled because of the deep-rooted hatred between them.

And eacn twist in a role different from anything intended to become one of the greatest singers of her time. This seemed a remarkable forecast, for in 1950 her appearance on the European scene created a sensation.
